First published as individual titles in 1992, these stories were seen as ground-breaking publications, presenting traditional Indigenous stories in a bi-lingual text. Sales of the individual titles now exceed 26,000 copies each. Updated with a vibrant new design, the stories are still as fresh and appealing as ever. The collected work contains a map, explanatory note and a simple pronunciation guide for the Wongutha words used in the text.O'Brien, May is the author of 'The Bawoo Stories: How Crows Became Black, Why the Emu Can't Fly, The Kangaroos who Wanted to be People, Barn-Barn Barlala the Bush Trickster', published 2008 under ISBN 9781921361159 and ISBN 1921361158.
